Cozy Tapes: Vol. 1 Friends - Tracklist
A$AP Mob’s Cozy Tapes, Vol. 1: Friends - is the second mixtape made by the collective.
The “Friends -” in the title is a phrase commonly used on A$AP Mob’s VLONE clothing. Cofounder A$AP Bari explained the meaning in an interview with NSS Magazine:
If you minus anything it’s “zero.” Minus life. Minus style. Minus food. Anything you put a minus to, you end up with zero. So the whole meaning behind the T-shirt is that “minus friends” means “zero friends."
Before his death, A$AP Yams was working on a project called the Cozy Tapes that would pool the talents of A$AP Mob. Rocky has compared it to Ruff Ryders’ Ryde or Die Vol. 1 and The Diplomats’ Diplomatic Immunity.
On July 21, The A$AP Mob made its network television debut on The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon to officially begin promoting the tape.
On October 27th, A$AP Rocky took to Twitter to drop Telephone Calls from the tape, and to announce that the project in its entirety would be officially released on October 30th, 2016.

What have artists said about this album?
Prior to it’s release, fan-turned-member A$AP Lou Banga told Reddit:
You could expect that ol' Flaco, a lot of guest appearances, and you can expect that ignorant young turn up music. And a lot of exclusives from the Mob.
